This was our 2nd stay at the building, our earlier stay being a few years ago. The unit was reasonably clean (just don’t check under the bed as the dust bunnies are thick). Biggest issue is parking. Driving a dual cab Ute, parking was a nightmare. We watched a permanent tenant trying to park his small SUV and reverse into a pole. Parking is tight and the streets are congested, so no option to park on the roadside.

The unit we stayed in was a good size but very dirty. There is a main road in front which meant constant noise all night. The staff at reception were however very helpful and friendly people but they are the only thing I can praise about this apartment.

Parking is secure, the staff at check-in are friendly and helpful. The pool is beautiful and it is a great location to explore the Gold Coast. The balconies on the rooms are great to sit and enjoy the beautiful views and breeze. My teenage daughter loved the spa. The only small negative, and this was not a surprise as it is in the listing, is that there are no lifts. The views make up for this. This is our second stay and we wouldnt hesitate to stay again.

No lift so carrying luggage up and down can be a pain but we think of it at exercise 😂

After hours check-in was easy and staff were courteous. Our room unfortunately wasn’t very clean and maybe a better dishwasher detergent should be provided so kitchen pots, pans etc are cleaned properly. ( we went out and bought electric frypan, kettle and a decent detergent. Washing machine was full of mould, so that needed cleaning before using.
I would suggest a certain standard of furniture to be maintained for the rooms that are

Our overall experience was good, the reception staff were fantastic and gave helpful information. Cleaning was a little lacking and we would have found it useful to have a set of tongs in the kitchen a scrubbing brush for dishes and possibly a couple of face cloths which we ended up buying.
We had a lovely stay though so just a few minor tweaks

We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment. The apartment was a good size offering 2 outdoor balcony seating areas and a spa. The pool area and BBQ area were great.
The apartment itself is a bit tired and could do with a refresh, and a deep clean.
The staff were friendly and welcoming and communicated the late check in procedure well making our arrival smooth.

We recently stayed here with my in-laws and had a mixed experience. We booked a 2-bedroom apartment, and they had originally booked a 1-bedroom but were given a complimentary upgrade to a 2-bedroom. Their apartment looked recently updated and matched the photos online, while ours felt quite dated in comparison. The carpets and blankets didn’t feel particularly clean, which was a bit disappointing.

On the positive side, the apartment was very spacious, which made it manageable and comfortable staying with two young children. The location was also excellent—close to the theme parks and Harbour Town, which was super convenient.

Parking, however, was an issue for us. Our hire van was too tall to fit in the underground parking, and finding a spot on the street was extremely difficult.

Overall, the stay had its ups and downs. The location and space were great, but the difference in room quality and parking challenges took away from the overall experience.

The staff member at check in was friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, amd we were lucky enough to have a room with water views and a balcony to have dinner and watch the summer storms roll in.
Even though it is situated near the highway, we could not hear any traffic noise inside, nor noise from any other apartment.
The room was clean and spacious. It is close to shops and not far from the centre of Surfers Paradise.
The amenities such as the pool and gym are great as is the allocated parking spot.
The only thing that would make it better would be a lift so that people who are unable to walk up stairs could stay.
We enjoyed our visit, and would be happy to stay again.

Sandcastles Apartments are great for a family holiday. The pool is amazing, the grounds are well kept, the ladies on reception are fantastic and the location is good if you want to be out of the hustle and bustle of Surfers but close enough to everything. I would stay here again but I would request a different apartment. We had a ground floor apartment right on the main road and it was very noisy, especially cars taking off from the traffic lights late at night right outside our bedroom. The apartment was also in need of some refurbishments and repairs. We did get this apartment at a great price for the week so that may have been taken into account and I would say that the value outweighed the negatives. All in all, great stay on the Gold Coast! Thank You!

We booked at Sandcastles on the Broadwater as it was close to where my daughter lived. Lovely clean units that have aged a little, but suited our purpose as we needed the three bedroom. However it doesn’t have an elevator and if coming up from the garage where your car is parked, it’s four flights of stairs. Doesn’t sound like much, but it is when lugging up your bags. Also no rubbish chute. So the same when you have to removed all of your rubbish throughout your stay. The only other thing is the traffic noise, at times it can be very loud. Other than that, staff are lovely, you can hire beach towels that save you packing one and it’s located in a good area. It’s close to supermarkets, pubs, cafes and Harbour town is about a five minute drive for all your shopping needs.

What you would expect for the money.

This was an older complex , showing some signs of tiredness. Having said that it is in a good location with easy access to parking and to the unit. The unit has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only thing that needs attention is the beds as the mattresses are probably a little over their use by.
We would stay here again as it is good value.

We were so excited to arrive at our accommodation for our little Adventure, we were super happy to check in earlier than expected so made the day so much more pleasant.
The complex is so close for the theme parks and harbour town. The beach is opposite which the kids loved for their morning walks, the apartment was roomy and a large kitchen, and two great verandahs. Parking was safe underground and access to all amenities was easy, and you get a good workout with the stairs.

We were in a 3 bedroom spa apartment, In a great position overlooking the water. We had 2 spacious balconies. The pool and barbecue area was great . Probably the only downside was we were on the 3rd floor, 4 flights of stairs from the secure underground car park. The unit was spacious with a well equipped kitchen. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Whilst I do appreciate people need to leave a premises in a clean and reasonable state, the repeat instructions (threat or risk charges) to dump ALL rubbish in the car park bin is, in my opinion, in conflict with the services they additionally paid for.
Finding that happy medium is the challenge to balance, but right now, I think it is over the top and left me feeling dissatisfied.

The apartment was fairly dated with the furniture being basic and well worn. The main ensuite shower had no soap dish or shelf so soap and shampoo had to be stored on the floor of the shower.

On a positive note, the views of the water was lovely and the large balcony with spa was a great area to relax in.

I hadn’t realised the property didn’t have a lift when we booked so being on the top floor and having to climb 6 flights of stairs for my 82 yr old mother and myself (who’d had a hip replacement a few months prior) wasn’t fun for the 3 days we stayed there.

It was a nice complex and the unit had everything we needed including paid TV. The unit we were assigned was neat and well maintained. Only thing to mention was the bed was a double so very small for two adults, no bedside table and the unit floor was a bit sticky and seemed a little dirty but could be the cleaning product used. We would stay in the complex again as the location is great and close to the beach for walks, restaurants and Harbour Town.

Didn’t look like the photos

Overall we were disappointed with our stay. The one bedroom apartment did not look like the online photos. It was very dark and dated. The ‘partial sea view’ was laughable. I had to put my glasses on to see the tiny bit of blue from our balcony. Communication and cleanliness was good but the stay didn’t meet our expectations.

We stayed for a week recently in a 3 bedroom spa apartment. If wanting to visit the theme parks the location is fabulous. It is also right on marine parade and walking distance to several cafes and takeaway places. We enjoyed the nearby playgrounds, there are 2 within a few hundred metres and the pelican feeding is very close by. We found it nice and quiet generally but had asked for an apartment at the back, so road noise was minimal. The pool and bbq area is great. The apartment was huge, great for a family but dated and located up multiple flights of stairs, definitely a negative when carrying luggage etc. The supply of dishwasher powder, dishwashing liquid etc was minimal, only supplied for one day and you then had to buy it.

The one bedroom unit 217 was spacious but dated, we found the bed was too hard , the kitchen was small but adequate, the bathroom was good and loved the shower pressure. We were disappointed that there were no vacuum cleaner in the unit and it must be a weekly ritual when it gets this service by staff. There is a very good a/c system but we are not fans of it but it works very good. Onsite parking good. The grounds, pool and spa very good. BBQ area very good though didn't use. Price wise a bit expensive for what it is but it's the time of year when prices are up. Three out of five stars based on our worldwide travels including other resorts we have stayed at in Surfers. A negative aspect for families unless you are driving you would need a bus and tram to get into Caville Avenue in Surfers.

The size of the accomodation was great, had everything you need. Pool and barbecue area was also fantastic with a small games room nearby.
Location is great if looking for somewhere quieter on the Gold Coast away from the more popular destinations.
Right opposite a great little kids playground with flying fox.
No cafe or restaurants near by but this didn’t bother us as we were out and about and with a full kitchen you can cook anything you like.
There are no lifts so if you have trouble with stairs I would request a lower level.

I felt that that the lady at reception was not very welcoming compared to other places we have stayed at. The noise from the stairwell, people speaking loudly and the banging of doors when you were trying to sleep was annoying some days. The property is very nice overall. The furniture in our apartment in the lounge room was knocked around however that didn't bother us. It is to the Grand Hotel and restuarants along Marine Parade
